WNBA star Kelsey Plum has revealed the truth about her ethnicity, and it’s probably not what you think.
Lots of fans assume the Las Vegas Aces point guard is Puerto Rican, and she can certainly pass for one. She’s even been branded the “Puerto Rican Princess,” but she isn’t actually Puerto Rican.
Plum, 29, hails from Poway, California, and is Irish. She revealed the latter in a WNBA video this weekend.
“I’m not Puerto Rican,” she said. “I’m so sorry to let people down. I’m just white; I’m Irish, actually. I’m a proud Irish woman but I feel like I’m an ally to all communities but now in particular because I feel like I’ve been endeared by the community.
“I know we’re playing Puerto Rico in South Carolina, it feels a great fit. I’ve been called a Boriqua.
“Whatever y’all need me to be for you, I’m rocking. Right, let’s do it.”

Kelsey Plum Is Going Through A Difficult Time
While Kelsey Plum was all smiles in the video above, she’s been going through a difficult period as she’s splitting from her husband, Darren Waller.
The 29-year-old confirmed that she and the NFL tight end were going through a divorce earlier this month.
“The offseason’s been tough for me,” she told FOX5 reporter Paloma Villicana in an interview. “I’m sure, everyone knows, it’s pretty public, but for me, I’m super-grateful. I think my faith has grown tremendously. And not just that but I know who I am, and like, you kind of get refined by fire.”
Plum and Waller tied the knot just over a year ago. While it’s disappointing to have to split up so soon, the guard says she’s focused on trying to win back-to-back titles with the Aces.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft with Vogue photoshoot
After the Tigers failed to stand up against Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes the fans were left wondering if the LSU star Angel Reese would declare for the upcoming NBA draft. Reese has answered those questions with a beautiful photoshoot in collaboration with Vogue. Reese did a photo shoot with the brand and announced that she would be declaring for the WNBA draft.
Reese expressed her thoughts about the decision on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. “Making my announcement with VOGUE was ICONIC. In the new world that I am stepping into, just believe in me, trust in me, and give me time to learn and grow!” said Reese in the post. She thanked her supporters for their support and love and also asked them to trust her in her new journey.
